Turbo Manifold Options

[negativecamber]

Hi guys

I am in the market for a top mount steam pipe manifold with 44mm external pipe. I dont want a cheap <$500 one with terrible design and collectors like scrambled eggs. I am aware of 6 boost etc that offer good manifolds for >$1500,but surely there is a few people making manifolds for around the $900-1000 mark.

I'm looking at Go Pipes on facebook at the moment but would like more options. The main thing I want is neat even collector point.

Last I checked 6-boost and ETM were both 1200-1300.

I have 2 mates who jumped on the merge collecor band wagon. Both which do them for the 800-900 dollar mark.

But my advice is go with 6 boost or ETM

They're are much neater and better fitting than the cheaper ones

^{i picked up my 6 Boost high mount for $1250 just 6 months ago. awsome manifold and worth every cent}

had a look at Sinco Customs?

[negativecamber]

I'll check out sinco customs at smoko. I can afford 1300 for a 6 boost, I am just being a jew and don't want to pay so much for a non moving part. My coilovers are a lot more involved for $1300.

My kinugawa t67 is less!

Your coilovers arent made by hand though.

Nor are they made locally

your willing to spend $1000 on a manifold but not $200-$300 more on a 6boost?

I dont understand, they are amazing manifolds, proven over and over to increase response and power

Just remember $200 wont seem like much later on when/if you regret buying a different manifold

6boost. Extreme turbo manifolds. Powertune. Either of those are a good choice. You get what you pay for.

Also brae manifolds are in that high class around 1100 mark.

[negativecamber]

decided to go with go pipes. they are local to me, have a similar design of tubes to 6boost and have perfect cnc'd collectors for $1000

Get in contact with Rex Kelway. Manifolds are very very good and are great value for money.

[hypergear]

Check Brae auto. They are $1100. I'm currently using one on my test car. been through plenty of 30psi+ red hot dyno runs and works great.

Mx performance are also up there.

I would be picking something that fits in your engine bay effectively and is done in a way that it doesn't affect things that need to stay cool. 6boost has revised his manifolds countless times for skylines.

+1 for Rex Kelway. He built me an awesome manifold for my rb25/30 with great collector and external gate, delivered for well under 1k.... extremely happy.

[negativecamber]

The place I was going to buy from needs my car there to make sure it fits. I am not at the stage in my build to put the motor in yet which is a bugger.

Post up some pics of the manifold when you get it.

EDIT: just saw your post...... just go with the 6boost!!! $1300 is cheap.... Manifolds like mine go for $2500USD in the states. And from what i gather 6boost manifolds are like $2k!

I probably woulda dished out the extra $200-$300 for the 6boost but I haven't seen the Gopipes manifolds before.

Do they build them out of cast SS weld-el's? Fully backpurged? ported? what diameter runners?

My buddy just finished fabbing up my manifold this week. Twin Scroll T4, 2in diameter Runners, fully backpurged and ported. He build the collector himself instead of getting those dumb 6-1 premade ones. just need to place the gate this weekend and take it for ceramic coating.

That looks sweet!

Are you sure its 2'? That will kill gas velocity and make it a biot of a dog...or so I would have assumed?
